The correct answer to the question is C. Jesus's followers traveled to different cities and spread his sermons and teachings.
In the early years after the death of Jesus, Christianity spread primarily through the efforts of his disciples and followers. These early Christians undertook missionary journeys, traveling to different cities and regions, spreading the message of Jesus and his teachings. They preached about his life, ministry, death, and resurrection, and the significance of faith in him for salvation.
The apostle Paul played a particularly significant role in the spread of Christianity. He embarked on several missionary journeys, traveling across the Roman Empire, preaching in synagogues, marketplaces, and other public spaces. His writings, preserved in the New Testament, contain letters to different Christian communities, providing guidance, instruction, and encouragement.
The spread of Christianity was not due to a revolt against Roman rule (option A), an order from the pope during the Crusades (option B), or Emperor Augustus converting to Christianity and making it the official religion of Rome (option D). These events occurred at different points in history and were not the primary factors in the early spread of Christianity.
